Pete's Bait & Tackle Shop has been a leader in supplying fishing information and equipment to the recreational fishing community throughout Massachusetts and New England.  Throughout the season, Metro Boston newspapers and fishing magazines have relied on our fishing reports for information as to what's hot and what's not.

Pete's Bait & Tackle Shop has been a prime force in the sport fishing world for over a quarter of a century, remaining in our current location, just minutes from Salem and Beverly harbors and the many lakes and ponds in the area.

During our years of service to the fishing public, Pete's Bait & Tackle has processed a total of 47 I.G.F.A. World Record Applications, including line class records in cod, bluefish, pickerel and white catfish.

Pete's Bait & Tackle Shop continues its commitment to keep you abreast of local fishing conditions and trends throughout the fishing season by providing this website as a free service to our fishing community - it is supported entirely by the generous donations of many of our readers. Feel free to browse the site for articles of interest, research and current events. Check the logbook on a regular basis to gather valuable information or post your comments about your recent excursion.
